The continuous rain in the village of Kayna had stopped, but the sky was still leaden.
The sky was still leaden, but the cloud base was still high and the visibility was much better.
"Now, are you ready?"

Many people had gathered in the plaza in front of Nido Castle. The faces of the gathered people were all looking upwards at an angle.
They are staring at the

"Another crazy thing ...... to do."
"Well, it's a djinn. ......"
They all say these lines with a mixture of amazement and admiration.

"Jin, Jin-sama, are you going with this?
"Yes, we are. With this, we can reach the Shoro Kingdom in two days.
Two days?

Jin has reinforced the airship. It can fly at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour. The distance between the village of Kaina and the capital of the Shoro Kingdom, Leusert, is less than 900 kilometers. If you push yourself a bit, you can fly in a day, but that's no fun.
So we plan to stay several nights in the Kingdom of Egelea. They are planning to stay several nights in the Kingdom of Egelea, where they will see Bina and Count Kuzma, whom they have not seen for a long time, and whose wedding is coming up soon.
When Jin explained this again, Barrow and Behle nodded.

"Yes, I understand. I will behave as Jin-sama's steward and lady-in-waiting on the way without embarrassment.
Jin, who had heard this line the other day as well, felt again how much they had grown.
"...... but can you really fly?"

But he was skeptical about flying in an airship.
"Bye, Onii-chan, go ahead.
This time it was not so much for sightseeing as for renewing old friendships and returning to Barrow and Behle's hometown. In addition, she was going to start up a desiccant plant at Reinhardt's place, which she decided would not be interesting for Hannah.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll be on my way this time.
Hannah seemed a little more mature than before, as if she had understood the message.
Seeing such a healthy Hannah, Jin felt a pain in his heart. He decided to use the warp gate to invite Hanna to the Shoro Kingdom after he finished his business.

"I'm off!"
The airship with Jin, Elsa, Reiko, Edgar, Barrow, and Behrle on board slowly floated up.
"Oh!"

"We floated...... no, we flew!"
"Wow, that's a real djinn!"
"Bye, little girl, have a good trip!"

The villagers' voices grow quieter and quieter as the surface of the earth becomes more distant.
"It's flying!"
Barrow clings to the gondola, a little shaken.

"Wow, it's a beautiful view!
Behle is entranced by his first view of the ground from the sky.
"Now let's fly!

Jin announced loudly and activated the propulsion system.
The airship starts moving slowly and gradually gains speed. When it reached a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour, it stopped accelerating.
"Brother Jin, what is the new improvement this time?"

Erza asked, leaning close to Jin. Jin had spent about two days improving his airship since he had decided to go to the Shoro Kingdom.
"Yeah. "Yes, there are several. Some of them are experimental. The first one is a drag-reducing ward.
"From the sound of the word, I have an idea of what it might be. But I can't think of how to do it."

Erza tilts her head. Her gesture made Jin's heart beat a little faster.
"Well, uh, aerodynamic drag, you know?"
After confirming Erza's nod, Jin continued.

"Until now we have been using wind wards to reduce the drag, but not this time. We're not using wards."
"What?"
You see, you can barely feel the wind.

"I'm using wind magic to push you from behind."

"What? But the recoil is ...... ah, that's what I mean."
"You get it, right? Yes, it's moving the entire mass of air surrounding the airship.
The huge ship was developed by the Tecles family, a wealthy merchant in the southern part of the Kingdom of Celuloa. The propulsion engine of the airship was to use wind magic to blow wind into the sails to propel the ship forward.

Jin applied it to an airship.
Ordinary wind magic has no recoil. No matter how powerful the wind is, the magician does not feel any recoil.
The mechanism has been explained in the past, so I won't go into it here, but Jin used it as a propulsive force.

"But the efficiency is not that great, so the speed stops at 100 kilometers per hour at best."
"But it's still amazing. Jin's brother is a magecraft master.
Erza then leans even closer to Jin, perhaps a little cold. Jin has been nervous ever since.

(I always thought Elsa was his little sister, and in fact I didn't feel anything for her until now. ...... I wonder if it's because she's activated?)
) That guess was right.
The fact that Jin had been able to act as if he was dead, and that he had been seen as if he had no interest in women, was all due to the inactivity of the reconstituted cells.

This was mainly (but not entirely) due to the fact that the secretion of hormones and brain substances such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, etc., and their effects on the body were negligible.
As a result of the activation of the body and the normalization of all functions, the emotions and reactions that a man of Jin's age should naturally have returned.
Moreover, the change was so drastic that he is having a hard time keeping up with it.

Erza, who could not have known of Jin's inner conflict, was expressing her gratitude to Jin for curing her karmic illness and her feelings of love for him that she had nurtured until then.
Reiko, on the other hand, is a little depressed because of her misperception that she may have caused Hitoshi some discomfort because of the inactive part that was complemented when she summoned him.
Nevertheless, the airship flies regardless of the passengers' intentions.

The distance from the village of Kaina to Blueland is approximately 500 kilometers in a straight line, a journey that takes less than seven hours.
The airship heads southwest. If Barrow and Behle had any knowledge of navigation, the question would have arisen as to how they could fly without hesitation.
The answer is that the fifth row (Quinta) in charge of the Blueland, Regulus 5, is the landmark, and Reiko is at the helm to guide the ship without hesitation.

Lunch is also in the sky. It is a great lunch looking down on the ground. The tea in the thermos is hot and tasty.
At first Barrow was a bit confused, but in the last three hours he has gotten used to it, and he and Behrle look down at the ground and cheer.
"We are about to pass the Kingdom of Klein and are now in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Selroa, over the Rivas region," Jin explains.

Jin explained.
The Rebus region is mostly mountainous and less populated than other regions.
However, it is not a very friendly country, so Jin raised the altitude a little. At the same time, he activates the wind shield to keep the air pressure from getting lower.

The altitude had been about 2,000 meters, but he raised it to 3,000 meters. The altitude was raised to 3,000 meters.
The altitude was originally about 2000 meters, but it was raised to 3000 meters. The difference from the earth's surface is less than half of that, about 120 meters.
Even so, at such a high altitude, the airship would appear to be nothing more than a dot from the ground.

After flying in this manner for about two hours, we finally enter the Kingdom of Egelea. About five hours have passed so far.
"We'll be at our destination in about two hours.
The plane is scheduled to land on the outskirts of Blueland.

The mountainous region that had continued from the Kingdom of Cerroa was gradually decreasing in elevation. Jin lowered the altitude of the airship accordingly.
"Ah, what are those high mountains?
"Oh, that's Mount Garratt. It's a good landmark.

Mount Garratt stands between Asunto, the capital of the Kingdom of Egelea, and the Blueland, which we were aiming for.
When the mountain was behind us on our right, the fortress city of Blueland came into view below us.
"Reiko, do you know where we are going to land?

"Yes, father. Regulus 5 is already waiting for us.
Reiko's eyes caught the sight of Regulus 5 standing in the clearing about 5 kilometers away.
"Let's lower the altitude."

In the case of Jin's airship, a normal altitude change is made without changing the angle of the air sacs.
In other words, the angle of the gondola on which they are riding does not change, but they can make a rapid ascent or descent.
The gondola was now descending at an angle of about 30 degrees toward the destination.

"There it is."
Regulus 4 and 5 were waving at us in the center of the square. The airship dropped beside them without passing over. Just before the gondola reached the ground, Regulus 5 held it back.
"Welcome aboard, Chief."

"Thank you."
Regulus 5 is holding the gondola so that it does not sway. First Jin, Elsa, and Edgar got off.
Then Barrow and Behle.

"Ah, um, Jin-sama, who are these people?"
"Yes, my name is Beat. This is Mark.
Beat is Regulus 5 and Mark is Regulus 4.

I had not yet told Barrow and Behle about Jin in detail, so I had no choice.
"Well, Beat, Mark, it's nice to meet you."
Finally Reiko came down.

"Father, we've checked the engine. Everything's fine."
"Thank you very much. Now, Mark, take charge of the airship for a while.
Yes, sir.

Mark-Regulus4 got into the airship and moved it slowly toward the forest.
With this in the background, Jin asked Beat: "Where is the Count?
"Is the Count here?"

"Yes, he said he would meet us in a carriage."
